COVID Bliss: being muted mid-sentence by the client on a packed all partners conference call because your 4-year old is in the background barking like a dog.
Marathons, Right About Now.
After 6 of the longest work weeks I’ve had in years, I’m in the mood to run a marathon … if marathons involved pillows, heavy blankets and that one perfect spot on the sofa.

Did you ever notice the ‘droids in Star Wars had complex AI-driven personalities but the ships did not? I mean, they could have, but didn’t.
Perhaps Amazon’s Alexa in my car isn’t such a good idea after all.
